James Ennis began and finished the 2021 season with two different, yet serious leg injuries.
The 30-year old swingman — who ended the season as the team’s elder statesman, for all intents and purposes — was sidelined at the start of the year with a hamstring injury and recovered to play 41 games while dealing with off-and-on calf soreness.
